to achieve with The verdict the perfection of the law shot a second time, Lumet was served by a lawyer named Frank Galvin (Paul Newman), rundown, white-haired, fond of waking up with a hangover, which insisted on fighting the Archdiocese of Boston and powerful cabinet Ed Concannon (James Mason) for "Deborah Ann Kaye against the hospital and doctors Catherine Robert S. Towner and F. Sheldon Mark. " Aided by a loyal and former partner, Mickey Morrissey (Jack Warden), and Laura Fischer (Charlotte Rampling), his latest conquest in a bar, Frankie search necessary witnesses, as Dr. Thompson (Joe Seneca), black and retired with a penchant for litigation, to prove that a woman who was having her third child at St. Catherine has spent four years in a vegetative state due to poor management anesthesia to achieve a victory over Goliath, beyond the compensation, then you soar. And he'll even do it with little appreciation of the sister and the brother of the victim, the husband left with little months ago, "Hoyle judge (Milo O'Shea), which deals with repetition and hard to put all type of legal obstacles, and the woman he had placed all their hopes. With witness last minute and a bleak end in victory, Frankie, exhausted in his chair, now with a coffee in hand - give up the pitchers of beer with egg, rounds of whiskey and jokes with friends in the pub, to the pinball games ?, will you need more eye drops and oral spray to disguise the ravages ethyl? - hear the phone ring again and again: pick it does not need to discover the identity of the viewer sees.
The case of medical error The verdict enjoying the slowness that Frankie does not grant its soothing drinks and blurs the screen of a nebula that makes you forget that it is nothing more that film, adapting a bestseller by Barry Reed, a lawyer in your day to day, by David Mamet, all a guarantee of solvency when talking about conspiracies, cunning and trickery. Good because of the drunkenness have that script, the containment of action and the absence of loud sounds and all sound track superfluous photography Andrzej Bartkowiak, who distances himself from the characters in outdoor activities and creates an alcoholic haze the interior, the church and a pervasive latent superb performances, among which is right to emphasize the figure faded, and the intense blue of a Paul Newman that, if ever fulfilled, here there was more than one interpretation justifying a lifetime. Character solved with a masterful understanding and sensitivity after being rejected by Robert Redford: An error that became an unexpected gift of who was without doubt his great friend in and out of office.
The verdict is the last time a film of judges and lawyers, courts and suspects, those in which you're thinking if we believe in justice or in law, was not accompanied by racing impossible thunderous shots and unbelievable twists and turns. And he did it with a bitter aftertaste, with the rage that brought the numbers written on the checks that buy the silence of traitors, knowing that the medicine is not administered by infallible beings, the church and charity are just necessary but not necessarily fair, which is above the dignity of all life. That thanks to Lumet and Newman, we referred to a case, but Case.
